Weekend Remote Amazon Work Jobs in Edison, NJ (NOW HIRING)

Distinguished AI Engineer - Agentic AI Platform (Remote Eligible)

At Capital One, we are creating responsible and reliable AI systems, changing banking for good. For years, Capital One has been an industry leader in using machine learning to create real-time, personalized customer experiences. Our investments in technology infrastructure and world-class talent - along with our deep experience in machine learning - position us to be at the forefront of enterprises leveraging AI. From informing customers about unusual charges to answering their questions in real time, our applications of AI & ML are bringing humanity and simplicity to banking. We are committed to continuing to build world-class applied science and engineering teams to deliver our industry leading capabilities with breakthrough product experiences and scalable, high-performance AI infrastructure. At Capital One, you will help bring the transformative power of emerging AI capabilities to reimagine how we serve our customers and businesses who have come to love the products and services we build.

Team Description:

The Intelligent Foundations and Experiences (IFX) team is at the center of bringing our vision for AI at Capital One to life. We work hand-in-hand with our partners across the company to advance the state of the art in science and AI engineering, and we build and deploy proprietary solutions that are central to our business and deliver value to millions of customers. Our AI models and platforms empower teams across Capital One to enhance their products with the transformative power of AI, in responsible and scalable ways for the highest leverage impact.

Why this Role Matters:

We are building an enterprise Generative AI Platform that lets dozens of product teams compose powerful, safe and explainable AI capabilities - without wrestling with model minutiae or infra plumbing.
You will design the agentic workflow framework, shared services such as memory, guardrails, vector search, SDKs and blueprints that translate foundation model power into production grade applications used by millions of users across multiple lines of businesses.

In this role, you will:

• Partner with a cross-functional team of engineers, research scientists, technical program managers, and product managers to deliver AI-powered products that change how our associates work and how our customers interact with Capital One.

• You will contribute to the north star platform architecture, continuously publishing and refining living diagrams and canonical APIs that cover agent orchestration, RAG pipelines, prompt libraries and multi-tenant policy enforcement.

• A major emphasis is around standardizing and automating agentic workflows : you will evaluate agentic frameworks such LangGraph, AutoGen, Semantic Kernal, CrewAI and LlamaIndex and then harden / blend patterns that best meet enterprise SLAs do that 90% of new apps adopt them.

• Developer experience is another cornerstone. You will contribute to crafting an end to end GenAI SDK, CLI and starter kits that let AI engineers spin up secure, observable agentic workflows in under minutes, shrinking prototyping to production timelines by 30%.

• Trust and safety remain paramount; you will help bring together a vision of central guardrail services - prompt firewalls, content-filter hooks, red team harnesses and audit APIs - consumed by every application to ensure zero Sev4 incidents.

• You will collaborate with cross organization architects to drive end to end performance by optimizing orchestration - level batching, retrieval caching, heuristic tuning to achieve reductions in per token spend. You will accelerate innovation by incubating proof of concepts and driving RFCs such as hierarchical agent memory, multimodal guardrails, multimodal RAG.

• You'll own central Helm charts, operators and CRDs that auto scale agents to hit tenant SLAs

• Finally you will coach and evangelize - hosting architecture office hours, mentoring Staff, Principal and Senior engineers, authoring technical design documents and blogs and representing Capital One at Tier1 AI conferences - to amplify platform vision across internal and external communities.
